Your music and movies deserve Xtreme Fidelity. Add the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card to your PC and turn your downloaded music into your own personal concert. Plus watch DVDs or downloaded videos with full cinematic surround sound. From the Manufacturer The Creative SB1040 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card features cutting-edge technology to give you outstanding sound when you listen to music, watch movies, or play games. Why settle for basic, built-in sound when you can turn your downloaded music into a personal concert, experience movies as though you were in a cinema, and play games with 3-D audio effects? The SB1040 X-Fi sound card delivers the audio experience you deserve. Positional 3-D AudioWhether you're using headphones or speakers, Creative's X-Fi CMSS-3D technology delivers outstanding surround sound. When used with a pair of headphones, the technology creates nine virtual speakers for exceptional surround effects, letting you feel like you're sitting in the best seat of a movie theater. You'll get an advantage in games, too, with the ability to locate enemies by sound before they see you. When used with multichannel speakers, you'll be able to hear exactly where the audio cues are--even between speakers. Voices will be right in front of you and ambient sound will surround you, just like a live performance. CMSS-3D works with both desktop stereo speakers and full surround speaker systems. X-Fi Crystalizer Restores Lost DetailsX-Fi-Crystalizer technology restores the audio detail that is lost in compressed audio files so you'll regain vibrancy and clarity in your music and movies. The technology restores the highs and lows that are often lost due to compression, so whether you're listening to cymbal crashes or wailing guitars, you'll hear the music as it was meant to be heard. Realistic Sound Effects for GamingWith support for EAX ADVANCED HD technology, the SB1040 X-Fi Xtreme Audio delivers rich environmental effects in your games, giving you a more immersive experience. You'll hear bullets whizzing by your head, and experience explosions that seem to shake the whole room. And if you're using Windows Vista, Creative ALchemy technology restores surround sound to DirectSound3D games for an exceptional gaming experience.Intense Cinematic Sound for MoviesThe SB1040 X-Fi Xtreme Audio delivers THX-certified surround sound for a cinematic experience right at your computer.

I have a hp elite 8300 SFF desktop.** A: This card is small widthwise, height wise and lengthwise. It was deigned to fit into smaller cases and smaller motherboards that generally cut off standard PCI slots and use PCIE in lieu of them. I am not familiar with that particular model from HP, but I have seen this card used in other slim cases from a few manufacturers. **Q: Does this do DTS-EX?** A: Yes, with the old 2006 drivers it ships with, it has a nice graphic interface and easy to switch audio mods. DTS sounds great, and even better with headphones. However, the newer drivers from Sound Blaster block its use. Soundblaster obsoleted this model via software update. Look at the X-Fi Titanium, or Recon3d or newer models instead. The newer models are still supported by the manufacturer. Asus makes a few models about the same price, and won't use dirty driver updates to force you to upgrade. I now have an Asus Essence STX with built in headphone AMP and real capacitors, and much more volume and sound quality over this Xfi **Q: Will the optical input receive 5.1 signal and if so is there any lag?** A: Never tried it, and not even using the card anymore, since after Win XP, the OS won't even access the hardware directly anymore. **Q: Is compatible with hpe gen9 ml30 server?** A: What OS. Did not have any drivers for Windows 10 64-bit. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/437320-creative-sb1040-sound-blaster-x-fi-xtreme-audio-pci-e](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/437320-creative-sb1040-sound-blaster-x-fi-xtreme-audio-pci-e) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-10-30*
